This is no way to handle labor relations:

The ruling Hamas movement on Wednesday replaced hundreds of striking teachers with its own supporters, purging Gaza’s education system of its political rivals and deepening its control of the coastal territory. … The local teachers’ union, one of the last remaining Fatah strongholds in Gaza, called its strike this week to protest the transfers of dozens of educators to new schools. It said Hamas forced the transfers to give its supporters key posts in the education system.

Hamas denied this, but then installed hundreds of new teachers almost immediately after the strike began.

“Anybody who left their job will not be allowed to return,” said the Hamas education minister, Mohammed Askoul. “They have become irrelevant and cannot be trusted anymore as educators.”

The work is really piling up for Condi these days.
